Mercator Projection All the Way Down

Map facts: The Mercator projection is technically infinitely tall, and
more warped as it goes down, so it must always be cropped somewhere.
Below is a cropping somewhat lower than normal, so you can see: (1)
Antarctica, (2) buildings at the Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station, and
finally (3) individual snowflakes.
